Hi Manjula,
I made this recipe two times, with these modifications: I used the fat part of canned coconut milk instead of heavy cream, because I wanted it to taste more tropical, and substituted cornstarch with less than half a teaspoon of carob seed flour (I might increase the amount a little), as it is the favorite thickener of ice cream makers here in Italy. I used my grandma’s ice cream machine to make it, it came out good and soft, and stays quite soft even in the freezer. Next time I’ll add a little more carob seed flour and put less sugar per my taste (I also prefer muscovado sugar because of caramel taste) – about 100 grams (half a cup) .
Thank you for the recipe, it’s a good base for fruit-based ice creams that don’t taste watery – Didina

I am very happy I could help you, to be more clear there are two types of carob flours: carob pulp flour, which is similar but different from chocolate (it tastes more beany), and carob seed or bean flour, which is off-white and the thickener I use. Carob pulp can be used in place of cocoa instead, I use it in milk with some sugar to make breakfast.

I am just loving the way of ur short and delicious way of cooking. I tried this icecream and it tasted too good. My husband is fond of icecreams and now I can give him something healthy and homemade to eat.
Please suggest some more icecream recipes using fresh seasonal fruits.

Hi Manjula Aunty .. I am a big big fan of your style of cooking. Your recipes are so easy and very interesting. Most importantly you are so well organised.:-) I have a question on this recipe.I have not used heavy cream before.Do you have any suggestion on what brand of heavy cream to be used?(I am in US)Thanks!!

Hello Manjula. I can’t wait to try this recipe. I am in the US and it’s about time to start enjoying ice cream again. One question, can you freeze in a metal bowl and get the same results as the glass bowl?

We watch your kitchen show every weekend and learned lot of diferent indian dishes from it. We tried your recipe of Jalebi and it turned out really great. Thanks for the tips. We would appreciated if you make video on how to make Bombay Ice-Halwa ( thin chips).

I follow the recipes on your website very often….I wanted to try making simple vanilla icecream…..so if i use ur recipe of mango icecream and omit out the mangoes and add vanilla essence will it be ok? And so i still have to add lemon juice and zest while making vanilla icecream? Will it affect the taste?

Yes Aunty, Sorry for the late reply…..I did try the recipe with vanilla essence…..the texture and consistency were perfect just like the store bought vanilla icecream. I added 1 tsp of vanilla essence…should have reduced it to just 1/2 tsp since i think it affected the taste……also the icecream was very sweet….flavoured icecreams are usually sweet but vanilla ice cream is not so sweet…..hence next time i would add lesser sugar….but a great thanks to u atleast i know how to make a basic icecream….

1. Can we use canned mango pulp?
2. When you mention “mix it’ after freezing for 2 hours, how to mix it? using a mixie or something else? I am asking you this question as I could not see the video, some problem with flash/youtube.

Mix everything using a blender. Pour in a freezer safe container for 4 hours. Take out from freezer, thaw it (to brake the crystle formation )and then blend it again. Freeze it for 4 hours and you have delicious creamy icecream
ready!

This sounds like the simplest recipe I’ve seen for ice cream. It sounds very tasty and I like the sound of the lime juice and zest.

As for the creaminess, market ice cream (unless it is organic) has all kinds of things in it that will make it creamy, but the most used is a type of warfarin, also used as rat poison and a blood thinner. I’d rather have less creamy than eat the poison sold in the markets.
